Aaron and I went to Clearwater, Florida for the week around New Year's. We basked in the warm weather alongside some big kitties. These big kitties had apparently heard about the torture we put our Thalia through (see previous post), and were not ready to to try on some reindeer antlers. This big kitty in particular was not happy about anything.

The Big Cat Rescue is an amazing place. It is a true sanctuary--no breeding. Lots of feeding and sleeping, however.
To commune with wildlife, we also went on a dolphin cruise. Lots of dolphins playing, and happy tourists taking pictures in the warm weather (we luckily went right before the cold snap Florida had).
I also ran the Arizona Rock and Roll Marathon. See how desperate I am to escape snow? I'll run 26 miles to get away. Despite a very cranky hip, I was able to run 18 miles, and walk/run the rest to finish in 4:43. Did I mention I finished?
